Court looms for Vanessa Hudgens after lawyers fail to reach deal with ex-manager

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens could be headed to court after lawyers for the star failed to reach an agreement with a former manager over a $5 million lawsuit.

Hudgens, 20, was pictured leaving a mediation session in Los Angeles today between her and Johnny Vieira, who is suing her for $5 million he claims to be owed for making her a star.

Hudgens had nothing to say as she walked from the law offices but Vieira told reporters the meeting was a failure.

"The mediation was not successful, so it looks like we are moving to trial,” he said.

Vieira later released a statement saying: "It’s unfortunate we were unable to settle this matter today but I look forward to the trial where we will show a jury that I was responsible for launching Vanessa’s career yet wasn’t adequately compensated.”

Vieira is suing the actress for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty, and is also asking that a private settlement they agreed on when they parted ways be rescinded.

Ashley Tisdale Scores with Video Director

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Ashley Tisdale recently broke up with her V Factory band member boyfriend Jared Murillo. But don’t think that she’s one to sit around and mope over a break up as the ‘High School Musical’ star has quickly moved on to a new man. She’s now with 26-year old music video director Scott Speer. Scott has actually directed the 23-year old singer and actress in four of her music videos – ‘He Said She Said’, ‘Suddenly’, ‘Not Like That’ and the upcoming ‘It’s Alright It’s Ok’, which is the first single from Ashley’s upcoming album ‘Guilty Pleasure’. I guess it didn’t take them long to turn their professional relationship into a romantic one.
